• Video published in Romania showed Andrew Tate in police custody.
• The footage showed him and two women in a police van, likely on December 29.

Video from the arrest of Andrew Tate in Romania shows him locked in the back of a police van alongside two women.

Tate was detained on December 29 in Bucharest, the Romanian capital, as part of an ongoing human trafficking and rape investigation

Footage of the arrest was published by the Romanian news website Gândul, and also by MailOnline:

Tate, an internet celebrity who rose to fame on the back of overtly misogynistic content, was accused of forcing women to make porn to be sold online, according to Reuters.

Two women were arrested with him and are shown in the video, whom the Mail named as Georgiana Naghel, 28, and Luana Radu, 32.

Naghel is an influencer whose Instagram shows her posing on yachts and beaches. Radu was previously a police officer in Bucharest, who is now an influencer under the pseudonym Ellie Dely on Instagram.

Both women face allegations of helping Tate recruit at least six women into their online porn business. Like Tate, they were being , and are being held in jail for 30 days pending investigation.

A police source told MailOnline that Tate, his brother Tristan, Naghel, and Radu drew the attention of police by flaunting a lavish lifestyle on social media "which is not in keeping with their financial position."

Romanian investigators alleged in a press release that the six women were the victims of the trafficking scheme, at least one of whom was raped.

The group "created an organized crime group with the purpose of recruiting, housing and exploiting women by forcing them to create pornographic content meant to be seen on specialized websites for a cost," the investigators said.

Tate and the others were initially held for 24 hours, which a Romanian court decided could be extended to 30 days.

Tate has not responded to the allegations himself yet, other than to say via a spokesperson to the Britain's Daily Mirror tabloid that he would help the Romanian authorities.

But his Twitter account on Friday appeared to cast the events as a dark conspiracy, saying "The Matrix sent their agents."
